The first incident happened around 12:51 a.m. when a woman driving a Chevy Equinox collided with a Subaru, resulting in her vehicle flipping onto the Subaru and causing significant damage to both cars. The driver displayed visible signs of intoxication and was hospitalized for an ankle injury while police began investigating potential DUI charges.
